More Americans are on the job hunt starting in 2026 than in the beginning of 2025. However, many plan to stay put and take part in “job hugging.” Our latest study shows that seven in 10 who are not likely to look for a job say it's because it seems safer to stay where they are given the current economic environment. https://spr.ly/6182COgy4

Last week, the 2025 showcased the collaboration and coordination at the heart of the U.S. state-based insurance regulatory system. State insurance regulators worked together to make progress on key issues as they continue “Securing Tomorrow.”

“For more than 150 years, the state-based system of insurance regulation has led, adapted, innovated, and supported consumers and markets,” said North Dakota Insurance Commissioner and NAIC President Jon Godfread. “I am proud of what state insurance regulators have accomplished together this year to help prepare for the next 150 years and keep our system the global gold standard for insurance oversight.”

The Risk-Based Capital (RBC) Model Governance Task (EX) Force achieves a significant milestone with the adoption of its principles for the RBC tool at the .

RBC is a regulatory framework used by state insurance regulators to monitor the financial health of insurers and protect policyholders. RBC sets the minimum level of capital that an insurer must hold to support its operations, based on its size and risk profile. The tool also identifies companies that could be at risk early, so regulators can take corrective action before policyholders are impacted. The NAIC is proud of the hard work and collaboration that made this project successful.
